Place & story
A grant of church and land
The Office of Public Works places Sitric Mac Torcaill’s grant of Tully Church and its surrounding lands to Holy Trinity Church in Dublin probably in the 1160s. The Tully lands extended that institution’s holdings at Kill of the Grange. The account also records Tully Church as ruined by the 1630s. The proposed grant date concerns the transfer of church and land, rather than the construction of every surviving wall. [2]
